Description
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
the documentation and the compatibility-chart is missing the discard-value.
i believe it is because it is not yet implemented anywhere.
but it is listed in syntax as defined in the linked w3c-draft.
What did you expect to see?
i think discard schould be listed in the compatibility chart.
Did you test this? If so, how?
no tests needed.
(well, maybe it even exists in chrome? i didnt test.)
Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#white-space-collapsing (as linked in the mdn)
Do you have anything more you want to share?
also: i was so happy to see that white-space-collapse now is implemented, only to become very disapointed. discard is the one thing i would need. there is this one thing bugging me for over 20 years using css: empty whitespace in properly formatted (readable) html-code turning into visible text-nodes, without an acceptable generic solution to remove this visibility - only terrible or specific hacks...

Research direction
Start with the MDN white-space-collapse page and the linked CSS Text Level 4 draft, then locate the css.properties.white-space-collapse entry in the compatibility data. Confirm how the discard value should be represented and whether browser support is known; done means the value appears correctly in the compatibility chart.
